TOY.

' Application filed May 9.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that 1, DAVID S. GREEN, a citizen of the United States, residing at St. Louis, State of Missouri, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Toys, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part hereof.

My invention has relation to improvements in toys; and consists in the novel details of construction more fully set forth in the specification and pointed out in the claims.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective showing the applicatlon of my invention; Fig. 2 is a front elevation of the toy; Fig. 3 is a top plan with parts broken away and the topilid swung partially open; and Fig. 4'is a side elevation with parts broken away.

The object of my invention is to prdvide a toy equipped with a pin-wheel which may be actuated by the im act of a jet of air as follows:

forced from the lungs t irough a pipe stem serving as a mouth piece, the device having a second pipe stem or tube leading into a special chamber having an outlet port, said 0 amber being filled with flour or any harm-.

less powder, which, upon blowing into the chamber through said pipe stem, will be expelled through the port and be impinged against the face of the person, thus affording considerable amusement to the onlookers and vexation and surprise to the person blowing into the wrong tube.

In detail the invention may be described eierringto the drawings, 1 and 2 represent the two members or legs of the device, said legs being disposed preferably at right angles to one another. What constitutes the horizontal member'is provided on one sidewith a chamber 3, the leg 2 being provided with a chamber 4 having no communi cation however with the chamber 3. The

top of the chamber 4 is closed by a swinging door or lid 5, and the chamber ,3 is closed by a a sliding door 6 mounted in suitable bevel grooves or ways at one side of the chamber,

the door 6 being provided with a finger-hold or depression (1. 1

Leading diagonally through the front wall 01 the leg 1 and communicating at its rear Specification of Letters Patent.

opening 8. Mounted in the path of the airjet from the pipe p, in the chamber 4 is a in-wheel w to which rotation is imparted by blowing through the pipe-stem p (Fig. 1). Leading into the chamber 3 through the front wall thereof is a dummy ipe-stem or tube 1), the front wall of the c amber 3 being provided with a hole or port 9. The front of the chamber 4 is closed by a glasspanel 10 which is locked in position by the closing of the lid 5.

When the toy is handed to a person and he happens to blow through the pipe p, he sets the in-wheel into motion, the air escaping t rough the lid opening 8. Should however the person happen to blow nto the dummy or stem 1)", he will blow the powder or flour stored in the chamber 3, into his face through the front opening 9, to hls discomfiture and annoyance. .A device of this sort will afl'ord considerable amusement to parlor parties, and children.

Having described my invention what I claim is:

A toy comprising two legs or members disposed at an angle to each other, and one above the other' and having independent chambers formed therein, outlet ports leading from-the chambers, the outlet port of the lower leg being located in the frontwall thereof, a passa e-way formed at the 1uncture of the twoegs, a blowing plpe leading through the front wall of the lower leg at one side and establishing communication with one end of the assage-way aforesaid, an extension pipe lear ing from the opposite end of the passage-way into the chamber of the u per leg, a pin-wheel mounted in said chamiier in the path of the current escap ng from said pipe extension, a second blowlng pipe assed through the front wall of the cham )er of the lower leg, at the opposite side from the first pipe, and the blowing ends of the blowing pipes being separated suihciently to permit independent blowmg, the front wall of the upper leg-chamber bemg provided vwith a transparent panel for observing the rotation of the pin-wheel, the parts operating substantially as and for the purpose set forth. t

In testimony whereof'I aflix my signature, in presence of two witnesses.
